Deactivating your VantagePoint Registration Code and moving your VP license from one computer to another
Your Registration Code is your key to unlock VantagePoint. Sometimes you may need to change computers and move VantagePoint to a new computer. In this case, you must deactivate the Registration Code on the old computer before it can be used on the new computer. Or, if your computer will be reformatted or upgraded to a new operating system, you must first deactivate the Registration Code or you won't be able to use it again.

How does the Smart Trainer and Auto-Classifier work?
The auto classification function is an AI-based classifier. It uses the tokenized items (a process that splits raw text into words and phrases based on spaces and punctuation) from the assigned training fields as the input plus some pre-processing to eliminate highly common terms. All training fields are weighted equally. The user can control which fields are used as training.
